Planting Every Gift

Family memory

A song for Tia Huyen — planting every gift with love and watching what grows in our family.

Lyrics

Transcribed from the recording — close to the song, but not always word-perfect.

Who ya, Poocha? From a tiny baby to a titan, yeah
Remember teasing you, those little tantrums were a riot
Now the world is looking at you, high speed, shining bright
In a blink, you're mid-twenties, winning every single fight
You're exploring global maps while I'm watching the screen
Building up your empire, yeah, you're the main scene
Gorgeous inside out, handling the challenges like a pro
Every lesson that you learn and helps your spirit grow
When you're the glow, let the light in
Every evolution is a story worth writing
Mid-twenties, energy, yeah, you're taking the lead
Planting all your gifts like a futuristic seed
We celebrate you, we stay connected, always true
No one in world does it quite like you, too
Unembrace all that you are, shine on who you can embrace
All that you are, my youngest sister, you're the brightest star
My brightest star
Working out a sunrise, you're so fit and looking fly
Taking care of yourself, yeah, you're reaching for the sky
Inspiration in the mirror, yeah, you're doing your thing
From a playful little toddler to a woman on the wing
Learning what it means to be human, to feel it all
Standing up so bravely, every time you hear the call
I see you growing stronger, it's my favorite view
God bless your journey, who you and everything you do
When you're the glow, let the light in
Every evolution is a story worth writing
Mid-twenties, energy, yeah, you're taking the lead
Planting all your gifts like a futuristic seed
We celebrate you, we stay connected, always true
No one in world does it quite like you, too
Unembrace all that you are, shine on who you can embrace
All that you are, my youngest sister, you're the brightest star
Stay connected through the distance, you're the gift I prize
I see the future shining clearly right behind your eyes
Support is a promise through the lows and through the peaks
You're in a strength is exactly what the family seeks
God bless your little sister in every single way
Who you and we're celebrating you today
When you're the glow, let the light in
Every evolution is a story worth writing
Mid-twenties, energy, yeah, you're taking the lead
Planting all your gifts like a futuristic seed
We celebrate you, we stay connected, always true
No one in world does it quite like you, too
My youngest sister, you're the brightest star
My brightest star
When, go get it, we're right behind you
God bless little sis, shine on evolution baby
